To celebrate Terry Tempest Williams' Santa Cruz appearance and her wonderful new book, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks, snap a picture of yourself reading in nature and post the photo on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram under the hashtag #BooksInParks. Our favorite images will be awarded prizes from Bookshop and the Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, and be displayed at Terry Tempest Williams’s August 29th reading here at Bookshop Santa Cruz! Your photos can feature any book, and the setting can be a national, state, or city/local park! We want to see how much you love nature, love reading, and love our parks.

Join in the fun, show off the books you're reading and the nature you're loving with #BooksInParks.
